Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Mo chràdhghal bochd Sad and heartsore my weeping
Mar a tha mi nochd For I find myself tonight
'S mi gun tàmh gun fhios gun sunnd Without rest, without peace, without cheer
Mo chràdhghal bochd Sad and heartsore my weeping
Mar a tha mi nochd For I find myself tonight
'S mi gun tàmh gun fhios gun sunnd Without rest, without peace, without cheer
   
Gun sùrd ri stàth With no will for anything that profits
Gun dùil ri bhith slàn Without hope to be well
Chaidh mo shùgradh gu bràth air chùl My joy is vanished forever more
Gun sùrd ri stàth With no will for anything that profits
Gun dùil ri bhith slàn Without hope to be well
Chaidh mo shùgradh gu bràth air chùl My joy is vanished forever more
   
Mu dheagh mhac Ruairidh nan long Because of grief for the son of Roderick of the ships
Làmh a libhrigadh bhonn His a hand to lavish wealth
'S a bha measail air fonn luchd ciùil And who esteemed the minstrels' song
Mu dheagh mhac Ruairidh nan long Because of grief for the son of Roderick of the ships
Làmh a libhrigadh bhonn His a hand to lavish wealth
'S a bha measail air fonn luchd ciùil And who esteemed the minstrels' song
   
'S e bhith smuaineachadh ort It is thinking of you
A chràidh mi am chorp That has tortured my body
Is a chnàmh na roisg bho m' shùil And wasted the lashes from my eyes
'S e bhith smuaineachadh ort It is thinking of you
A chràidh mi am chorp That has tortured my body
Is a chnàmh na roisg bho m' shùil And wasted the lashes from my eyes
   
Mi ri smuaintean bochd truagh Thinking sadly and sorrowfully
Is ri iomradh baoth buan And ever vainly recalling
'S mi gad ionndrainn-sa bhuam, 's tu b'fhiù And longing for you as well you deserved
Mi ri smuaintean bochd truagh Thinking sadly and sorrowfully
Is ri iomradh baoth buan And ever vainly recalling
'S mi gad ionndrainn-sa bhuam, 's tu b'fhiù And longing for you as well you deserved
   
Deagh shealgair am frìth Rare hunter in a forest
Bha gun cheilg do thaigh rìgh You were without guile towards the royal house
Agus seirbheisach dileas crùin And a loyal servant of the crown
Deagh shealgair am frìth Rare hunter in a forest
Bha gun cheilg do thaigh rìgh You were without guile towards the royal house
Agus seirbheisach dileas crùin And a loyal servant of the crown
   
Tha do chinneadh fo ghruaim Your kindred are in gloom
'S gach aon fhine mun cuairt As are those of every name around
On là grinnicheadh d'uaigh sa chrùist Since your tomb was made ready in the vault
Tha do chinneadh fo ghruaim Your kindred are in gloom
'S gach aon fhine mun cuairt As are those of every name around
On là grinnicheadh d'uaigh sa chrùist Since your tomb was made ready in the vault
   
Mun t-sàr ghaisgeach dheas threum For the prime warrior, agile and strong
Ann am batail nan ceud In the battle of hundreds
Cha bu lapach sàs leum ud thu In that onset you were not sluggish
Mun t-sàr ghaisgeach dheas threum For the prime warrior, agile and strong
Ann am batail nan ceud In the battle of hundreds
Cha bu lapach sàs leum ud thu In that onset you were not sluggish
   
Làmh churanta chruaidh Yours a hand heroic and hardy
Ann an iomairt 's gach buaidh In contest and every victory
Chan uarrainn domh d'uaisle, ruin Your nobility, dear one, is no longer my support
Làmh churanta chruaidh Yours a hand heroic and hardy
Ann an iomairt 's gach buaidh In contest and every victory
Chan uarrainn domh d'uaisle, ruin Your nobility, dear one, is no longer my support
   
Do thaigh talla fo ghruaim Your mansion is in gloom
'S e gun aighear gun uaill Without mirth, without pomp
Far'm bu mhinig a fhuair sinn cuirm Where often we received a feast
Do thaigh talla fo ghruaim Your mansion is in gloom
'S e gun aighear gun uaill Without mirth, without pomp
Far'm bu mhinig a fhuair sinn cuirm Where often we received a feast
